SE Forgot to Add YouTube as a Requirement on Game Packaging/System Requirements?

apples to oranges. Youtube videos of a video game are in no way comparable to major events in real life.

It's actually apples to apples. You (should) learn from people's mistakes (history).

Actually he used to properly for the point he was trying to make.

Where Apples to Apples is more so two things that can be reasonable compared, it's much like saying "Well it doesn't matter how we do it, it's 6 of one and half dozen of another." meaning the two things are close enough in comparison, that there is no real difference between them

Comparing Apples to Oranges refers the fact that two things cannot be compared, there is a distinct difference between the two. It's more like saying "How can you compare the weather in the summer to how it is in winter, they are nothing alike." The whole point of Apples to Oranges is just basically to say there is no point or connection with such a comparison.

So by saying apples to oranges, he was simply stating that he believes comparing human history and the development of all species cannot correlate to people with bad attitudes in an online game trying to force people to play the game the way they think the person should, or harassing them, or calling them names etc.

Lets destroy all the history books and other such things that let us learn from those who came before us while we're at it.

You didn't just compare humanity learning to progress through life from history to video game players learning from guide videos. Did you? Were you serious? ROFL!!!!!

It's macro to micro comparison. Do you really not understand something that basic?

Did someone really just compare videos of a video game with the history of the real life world in terms of importance? Really? Seriously?

I... Don't... Even...

Maybe you need to take a break from gaming and see what the world is like if you feel a game holds that much importance.

Her point made perfect sense though - Research is important no matter what. It's there for you, you can't play this game unless you have an internet connection, meaning you have all of the resources available to you in some fashion. No computer? Your ps3/Ps4 can browse info for the most part. Chances are you have a smartphone as well.

No PS3/PS4? You're obviously not playing the game then.

The point, as everyone seems to ignore, is that the person felt we should literally have all of those videos that people make to HELP people should be removed. Tools, that are created by those who came before, to help those who come after, should be REMOVED. Does it make more sense now?

So, yes, I did make the comparison. And you can tell the people who refuse to understand quite easily by the responses.

It's people like you who make MMO communities such a bad place. Instead of treating it as a real life situation with consequences to your actions and interactions with real people you treat it as "just a game". If you do something wrong you don't expect to be punished for it because it's "just a game". You don't think about other peoples feelings and opinions because it's "just a game". You don't learn from others or your own mistakes because it's "just a game".

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Your comment is not related to the context of mine.

I had the perception that you were replying/contributing to the topic, agreeing with those who think people should watch videos.

Her point made perfect sense though - Research is important no matter what. It's there for you, you can't play this game unless you have an internet connection, meaning you have all of the resources available to you in some fashion. No computer? Your ps3/Ps4 can browse info for the most part. Chances are you have a smartphone as well.

In this game it's not just research, it's straight out cheating considering everything is scripted, videos tell you exactly what and when will happen, not much of a guide, it kills the fun of the learning stage.

One thing I do agree with you is that it's not unreasonable to skip the learning stage for very old fights, but hullbreaker is hardly old, it was added in the last major patch. Dungeons in general are easy enough that it doesn't justify skipping the fun of the learning part just because a few people are impatient.

As for the quote, I agree with the core point Ispano tried to make, saying that all all guides should be deleted is ridiculous, though the history book analogy seems a bit inappropriate in this context.

I think the echo should increase at the same rate it does in hard mode so people can actually complete extreme mode more easily in duty finder.
